...Washington one day last week on a routine assignment for the New York Times Sunday magazine. Samuel Johnson Woolf, 57, had done this many times before. He would draw a picture of a newsworthy personage and, while doing it, interrogate his subject enough to make a one-page interview to publish with his charcoal sketch. Sometimes he would jot down a few notes about what the person said on the edge of his drawing, but mostly he relied on his amazingly accurate memory. When he was all finished he would ask the famous one to autograph the picture...
Nervous, quick, wary, intolerant, Harry Bridges is scornful of the press, both Right and Left. Even when cornered for an interview, he ignores any questions which he does not choose to answer, punctuates his own points with jerks of his knotted longshoreman's arms. He used to have a pronounced Australian accent (an exaggerated Cockney) but has now lost most of it, speaking in a soft, low, emphatic voice. On the platform he is restrained, though he sometimes stops, tosses back his brown hair, pushing his beak forward as if into the wind at sea on lookout. He demonstrated...
...FORTUNE'S Quarterly Surveys are conducted by a staff of 50 field workers who interview 5,000 citizens each quarter. The 5,000-person "sample" is a carefully gauged cross-section of the U.

Only adults are interviewed. Results are believed to be accurate for the U. S. as a whole within a 2 % margin of error...
White told this story in the summer of 1935 to Miss Ellen Ansley, Howard College correspondent of the Scripps-Howard Birmingham Post. Another reporter was assigned to interview White and the Post published a story saying, "although Mr. White will not take responsibility of selecting Sheik Imam's wife, he will be glad to make contact with the Arabian for those interested. Mr. White can be reached by telephone at 9-1817 or by mail at Roebuck Springs...
Died. George Fisher Baker, 59, son, heir, namesake and successor of the late founder-chairman of Manhattan's First National Bank; of peritonitis; in Honolulu Harbor aboard his 272-ft. yacht Viking. Conscientious, conservative, he never made a speech or gave an interview, he lived in the lengthening shadow of his father's name. He had been First National's chairman since his father's death six years ago at 91, but active direction was in the hands of men like Jackson Reynolds and Leon Fraser. In poor health for the past three years, Mr. Baker...
